GlucoBase
PDA is a powerful, yet simple tool for recording daily blood
glucose readings.
Entering Readings
One of the main goals in the design of GlucoBase PDA was to
make entering readings as easy as possible. YOU DO NOT NEED
THE STYLUS to make a simple reading entry.
Just follow these steps:
Tap the new button (you can do this with your finger) to
start a new entry. If you like, you can do this before you
begin taking your sample.
Take your reading. Now comes the neat part.
Enter your reading using the buttons on your PDA. The leftmost
button selects the reading type, the next enters 100 for
each time it is pressed, the next adds 10's, and the rightmost
adds ones.
A number of useful statistics are displayed in the lower
portion of the screen. Prominent in the center of this area
is the daily high-low graph. There is a bar on the graph
for each of the previous 28 days. Each bar shows the range
of readings for that day. That is, the top of the bar represents
the highest reading for the day, and the bottom of the bar
is the lowest. Across the graph are two dotted lines. These
lines describe the target range prescribed by your doctor.
The number of readings in each range (high, target, low)
is shown along the left hand side of the screen.
